I am in the process of figuring out how to ACT on those words myself. |
Thanks, jazzy!  I can see this so much more clearer now than when I was in the middle of it.

Happiness cannot be found
through great effort and willpower,
but is already present,
in open relaxation and letting go.
Don't strain yourself,
there is nothing to do or undo.
Whatever momentarily arises
in the body-mind
Has no real importance at all,
has little reality whatsoever.
Don't believe in the reality
of good and bad experiences;
they are today's ephemeral weather,
like rainbows in the sky.
